Montara is a community hugging the cliffs of the Pacific Ocean between Pacifica and Half Moon Bay on the San Mateo County Coast. Most of the housing has been built within the past 25 years and a large number of residences have ocean views. The town is serviced by the scenic Highway 1 with access to beautiful beaches, fine ocean-view homes, and a woodsy, almost rural setting. Each of these factors make this close knit community a wonderful place to call home. For the horse enthusiast, the back of Montara in the Sunshine Valley area has horse stables and miles of riding trails.
